3 hours ago - Pushy Stephanie Abrams on TWC was standing by the Manatee River in Bradenton claiming that the storm surge was huge! The in-studio scientist guy had to point out to her "isn't that just the high tide?"

She is such an ignoramus. She didn't even know what's going on. It WAS the high tide which had already been mentioned as at about 7PM and a good thing because it was going to go back down and then the storm would pull it out to sea more long before the eye even arrives and it would be low tide when the storm surge comes into Tampa Bay.

She needs to just take off her jacket and show her tits. That's all she's good for.

Still no surge. You gonna keep hyping it or finally admit it's not coming?

No one has gone into the worst hit areas yet. There is no one there to check on anything or send photos for your entertainment. The maximum storm surge is what you prepare for - not what you hope for.

I saw a couple of photos of the storm surge in the Keys - water about 5 feet high against a house or apartment and not receding at all.

TWC often plays shows about all sorts of disasters including interviews with survivors telling their tale. Storm surge is a very real phenomenom, I have watched programs with survivors near Galveston and Louisiana describing what it is like when the house on stilts (2nd story) is filling with water and they had to climb to an attic or roof to escape. No one knows right now what is left along the coast in Everglades City and Marco Island.

Water peaked at 7 ft. above MLLW in Naples and is receding. Normal high tide is 3 ft. above MLLW.
